WHY ARE PUMPKINS ASSOCIATED WITH HALLOWEEN
When I was a preschool teacher one of the kids asked me why we have pumpkins at Halloween. I wasn’t quite sure and had to do some research. It turns out that many years ago the Irish would carve scary looking faces into turnips to frighten away Jack’s wandering soul.
As Irish migrants moved to the USA, they began carving jack-o-lanterns into pumpkins instead of turnips as pumpkins were plentiful in the USA. This is how pumpkins became a Halloween tradition and the tradition continues around the world today!

HOW TO MAKE toilet paper pumpkins
Download and print the pumpkin toilet tube template.
Cut the pieces out and set aside.
Cut a piece of orange paper the size of the tube that you are using. The easiest way is to wrap the paper around the tube, hold in place with a bit of tape on the back and then trim the excess from the top.
You may adhere the paper with more tape at the back or remove the tape and glue the paper to the tube.
Glue the features onto the pumpkin. Cut a small strip of green paper, wrap the paper around a pencil to get it to spiral and glue behind the stem.
